These are not easy times for booksellers. Borders, a big American one, fired its boss in January and has closed stores, but is still at risk of【C1】______, some analysts say. The British chain of the same name, which it once owned, failed last year. Barnes, the world’s biggest bookseller, appointed a new boss last month to help it【C2】______the triple threat of the recession, increased competition and e-books.

Many shops have started to offer free Internet access to keep customers there longer and to【C7】______them to download e-books.

A)able F)enable K)retailers
B)bankruptcy G)getting L)shopper
C)confront H)giving M)trying

E)emphasis J)particularly O)variety
【C4】
选项
答案
M
解析
动词辨析题。分析句子结构可知,此处缺少谓语动词,空格后面是their best to raise theirprofile online,结合选项,固定搭配try one’s best to do sth.“努力做某事”符合句意,所以应选trying。
